Each week we will have an "ego of the week". we will be interviewing aspiring music artist..Models.. journalist and maybe all three in one. This is our first ego of the week and i believe i chose the right one to start us off. She goes by the name "Monroe PoshVintage". She gave me a few minutes of her time and YES it was worth it shes very dedicated in everything she is doing and thats what its all about.. You should definitely be on the lookout for her and her new blog but ill let her tell you the rest...

Whats is your name and how old are you??

-My name is Jasmine Monroe Stewart otherwise known as “Monroe PoshVintage”and I'm 17 years of age.

What is the best thing about your style what makes it different from the rest???

-I believe that the best thing about my style is that I’m not afraid of being that girl in the crowd who is different and stands out for individuality because at the end of the day I still made an impression. I also believe in Do It Yourself projects, I believe it’s one of the best ways to stand out because it’s YOUR creation and often doesn’t become a trend.

Do you have anything you told yourself you must accomplish in the coming year??

-Before the end of this year I hope to get promoted in my job, working for the celebrity wardrobe stylist Mr. Bradshaw to me is very beneficial for the future ahead of me. I also plan on working on my collection of platform heels of all sorts.

If you could change one thing about your style what would it be??

-If I could change one thing about my style it would be to get more in depth with the designer influences I have come across.

What/who inspires your style in clothing???

My influences come from the people I surround myself with, celebrities, magazines, blogs, lookbooks, fashion shows and even by being a student at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angelos. Being a student here allows you to access the FIDM library where they have trend forecasts for a year to two and a half years from present day.

What keeps you motivated//Keeps You drivin toward you Dream??

-Back home I have an extremely supportive family and friend base, they have been there for me since day one and without them I couldn’t have made it as far as I have come now. My mom has always been my number one and my miracle. She’s gone through a lot and if it wasn’t for her there would be no way I would be the person I am today and achieve the goals I have set forth. She is my motivation to be the best I am capable of being. What also keeps me driven is my passion for this industry even though its fierce and fast pace here is where I want to be and this is I love to do.

What should people be lookin out for from Monroe PoshVintage??

-People should expect me to be styling on a professional level whether its models, up and coming artists, performers for photo shoots, runway, editorials, and award shows. There is much more to come from me other than styling but I hope the world can appreciate the views and opinions on clothes and fashions that I see. Also look out for my blog unscriptedposhvintage.blogspot.com (up by October 24th)

Do you feel you could change the world..if so how?

-I feel that with the right mindset and dedication anyone could change the world. Just little by little anybody can do anything. One person can’t do everything, but everyone can do something.

So, I havent done a Fashion Update in a Minute. And Recently, Ive noticed alot of this. I predict this is going to be the next big trend, atleast for females that is hip. Seeing that winter is coming, and winter you wear alot of jackets. I think many people will now be rocking the Michael Jackson Style, with the shoulder pads, sharp edges, leather, lots of black, sparkle, etc. Ive always admired michael jacksons style, and actually have a few jackets that have shoulder pads in them and I always was going to just take them out but never got around to it. Lucky me, because it seems this trend is about to begin, such celebrites like Rihanna have already Been inspired.

Christophe Decarnin's Balmain line has recently also been influenced by Michael Jackson. Here are a few examples from Autumn/Winter of this year.

And Somone Local who already is spreading the trend around the DMV! My friend Darius! I love him & his Original Stlye. It Killssss.

Amber Rose was on the latest issue of Complex for the "women are complex too" spread.I think I love amber so much, because she is so real. she speaks her mind, keeps it a hunnit and doesnt give a fuck what anyone has to say. i admire that greatly.

In the interview, she talks candidly about her sexuality, her relationship with Kanye and her thoughts on marriage:

On meeting Kanye I was always a huge fan of him, like who isn’t? But he had a fiancée, it wasn’t like, “Ah, I’m gonna get with Kanye!” When I met him, it was strictly business. He wanted me for his “Robocop” video and he had the utmost respect for me, and we hung out on a friendship/business type of deal. You know, just as normal human beings when you hang out with somebody, you start to like them. Kanye knew my life, so when the blogs came out like, “Oh, Kanye do you know she was a stripper, that she used to date girls?” Kanye was like, “Tell me something I don’t know.” Everybody has a life and a past.

On her relationship being a publicity stunt Well, my intentions when I met Kanye was to do his video, keep it very professional and we really started to like each other. It just so happened that he started liking me and I started liking him. It’s not a publicity stunt, it’s just human beings, man. I love Kanye as a person, he’s a great person, he’s super-talented. I love him for a lot of different reasons.

On Being Bi-sexualYeah, they label me a bisexual freak stripper that f*cks Kanye on a daily basis. [Laughs.] You know: “Amber Rose, the f*cking bisexual, dyke, freak, whatever the f*ck.” To answer that: I’m extremely open with my sexuality. I can be in love with a woman, I can be in love with a man. I’m not into bestiality [laughs] but as far as humans go, I definitely find beauty in everybody, whether they’re heavy-set, super-skinny, if they’re white, black, Indian, Asian, Spanish. I can see beauty in anybody. I’m not into threesomes or orgies and shit like that. If I see a women and I think she’s beautiful and I like her, and she likes me back we can definitely try to be in a relationship together.On her come upObviously, Kanye is a super-duper megastar so he definitely gave me the fast track to the top, and I love him and appreciate him so much for that.On Being On The BlogsThis is my life, this is how my life’s been since I was a kid. I’ve always been popular, my name has always been in somebody’s mouth in high school. I don’t lose no sleep over this sh*t.On The Perception that women who dress provocatively are wild in bedIf a girl wears a short skirt or dress, men automatically think, “She wants it, and she’s probably an animal in bed.” I just want to feel sexy today, I don’t want you. Men crack me up with that sh*t. Those rich college girls are the main ones who get it in and have orgy parties on tape. Then there’s me—who stripped for seven years—who’s a total prude. I have a raunchy mouth, but I’m so not into that stuff.On MarriageAs of right now, I don’t believe in marriage. I was raised by a single mother, so I don’t feel I need to be married to be happy and live my life.

Okay so supposedly Eminem claims that he and Mariah Carey were once in a relationship. Unfortunately Mariah denies the whole thing saying there was never and never will be a "Thing" between Her and Eminem.So Mariah Takes it to a whole nother level by making a diss song toward which she claims was not referenced to Em called "obsessed"..Im not buying it and I dont think Eminem bought it neither. Mariah shouldve known better than to diss a guy who doesnt mind dissing you back i mean its eminem majority of his songs you will her him use another celebrity's name in it. Mariah Pretty much set herself up for disaster and now has to deal with Eminem's new song called "The Warning".Oh and also.. Eminem says if she speaks back he will post their pics online. HE iS noT Rockin At All. LOL -Bam
